what are some novels that feature long ancestral lineages with some unsavory aspects like Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks or A Hundred Years Of Solitude?

my bf and i broke up last week and i thought i’d make a thread where mtfs can talk about what dating has been like. i’ve had 3 bfs since transitioning 6 years ago


bf 1
>straight or bicurious. dated for 9 months. we broke up when he moved. not a very good guy and not very attractive

bf 2

>bi guy. dated for over a year. probably more straight passing than bf number 1. emotionally available at first but we argued a lot. most attractive man i’ve had in my life but very hotheaded and lwk retarded sometimes

bf 3

>nerdy straight guy. we were together for 7 months. very thoughtful and caring at first. no ambitions and was content working his dead end job. did not put much effort into the relationship

has any mtf here had success on the dating market? where did you meet your partner and how? has dating been difficult for you?

Its Capybara day! say something nice about this creature.
